Title: How to add pictures?
Post by: cyberunicorn on July 03, 2017, 10:29:59 PM

Sorry to be a pain but is there another way to post pictures on the site given everything that is going on with photobucket.

I am not very web savvy when it comes to stuff like this to be honest and affer reading other topics it just confused me further.  :blush:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Basically the image has to be hosted online somewhere. You need to get the URL of the images itself, then post it here surrounded by the [img ] and [/img ] tags . Different photo sites have different setups, so I can't give more specific details without knowing which one you are using.

I'll just add that this particular forum uses bbcode, in case you see that wording on the site you use.
(That's what the [img ] tags are.)

Most URL starting with http:// and ending in a .jpg, .png or .gif should show up if inside the image tag.

Try this: click on your user icon in Flickr >settings > privacy and permissions >allow other people to share your pictures > select yes

Have you tried that setting?
